Red Sox place outfielder Victorino on 15-day DL

The Boston Red Sox placed outfielder Shane Victorino on the 15-day disabled list Monday, retroactive to March 30, with a right hamstring strain.

To fill his spot on the 25-man roster, the club recalled outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Victorino was injured while running the bases during Saturday’s Grapefruit League finale against the Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers, Fla.

The 33-year-old batted .250 with three doubles, an RBI and three runs in 10 spring training games.

Breslow eager to return

Red Sox left-handed reliever Craig Breslow is eager to get back in the lineup after starting the second straight season on the disabled list. He is hoping to return earlier than last season’s May 6 return.

Breslow, who is suffering from a left shoulder strain, pitched in an instrasquad game in Fort Myers, Fla., and then joined the team in Baltimore. He will next pitch in a Triple-A game at Pawtucket (R.I.) Thursday.
